We’re one of 41 states where the top 1% pay a lesser share of their income in taxes than low- and middle-income families.

The [Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy’s] study found that Michigan is one of 41 states that tax the top 1% less than every other income group. According to the study, the average effective state and local tax rate is 7.1% for the lowest-income 20% of individuals and families, 9.7% for the middle 20%, and 5.7% for the top 1%. Michigan also reportedly has the 34th most regressive tax system in the nation.

I’d tell you to contact your congressman or local representative but I’d feel like I was prankin’ y’all. /cynic
